Calling all outdoor enthusiasts, age 60+ who enjoy the outdoors. Are you ready to embrace the beauty, sights, sounds and smells of the forest in a non-competitive and fun way?
This group is targeted for age 60+ but nobody is checking IDs at the door. We have plenty of folks older and plenty of folks younger. Please note: For the safety of our members, a profile photo is required for membership.
We started our group in April, 2023 and we have been growing together. All fitness levels are welcome and nobody is left behind. Sweeps will be appointed at the start of hikes whenever possible. Events are not limited to hikes. We like to explore a variety of outdoor activities and events.
Our group strives to be inclusive in every possible way. Kindness, dignity and respect are core norms for this group. We try to arrange additional social time after events when possible. Finally, events are organized throughout the twin cities area and beyond based on the interests of our members. We enjoy going exploring new places. We've received a lot of feedback about where our events are held. While I'm always very much open to suggestions, please understand that it's ultimately my decision as the organizer to set the location, times and events. As a member, all you have to do is decide whether you want to attend or not.
On the donation link, please keep in mind that the cost to me is $360 per year. As the only organizer, I'm responsible for these payments. You can see that donations received cover the first two years but the third year is approaching (in April). This is why I keep raising the fundraising goal. Meetup does not let me clear it each year. Thank you for your generous support in helping me cover these expenses.
